Woo hoo! My first seven blocks are finished! I tell you I am having so much fun making these blocks, I do not want to stop. I kept stealing upstairs to play with fabric or stitch for a bit yesterday. Eva must have thought I had some sort of digestive upset. I kept saying "I'll be right back honey, you go ahead and work on your own for a while". Then I would run upstairs and fool around until I would hear her say "Nana? Are you ok?"
Each block is so cute. They come out very accurate and I have not had too many issues.
Um, well. I found that it helps a lot to write on the pattern the proper color to use in each section.
It sounds like quite a few of you were able to sign up for the sew-along during the extended deadline! I am so happy to have all your company on this fun journey.

I literally gasped in delight when I saw your pile of blocks! Love them!!!
Yes…I went right to the link and signed up…like I need another project to do😊. Thank you for the push. Yours are adorable. I’m going to sew mine in30’s .
Happy stitching
Your blocks look great. After reading yesterday’s post I signed up. I have lots of scraps to choose from and this will use some of then. This will also give me something to look forward to after a year of staying home. I have been reading your blog since the Halloween 1904 quilt. I just cut 64 to many blocks for a quilt I am making. uggg
Color coding a pattern is definitely helpful! You’re making great progress but I’m thinking Eva was missing you downstairs! Stay well!
I signed up too! Thank you so much for sharing this program. I would really like to become proficient at paper-piecing and the only way to do that is to do it!
I cannot wait! you need to set up a sewing station downstairs to work while Eva is working. ;p
Love them! Wish I had more brown like that in my stash I would totally copy you!
Those blocks are really so adorable !!
😂😂 I made that same mistake.
Thank you for suggesting the 365 blocks. My first ever paper pieced project. I’ve just completed week one. Are your blocks measuring 3-1/2? All 7 of mine are 3-1/4. I have checked the 1-inch gauge on my printed copy. It is exactly one inch. Since they are all the same size, guess it doesn’t matter. Just puzzled.
